If Linares somehow quits too there won't be any doubt who is the P4P #1... But haters will say otherwise.

Promoters Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya have overcome what was once considered an insurmountable obstacle to finalize a Vasyl Lomachenko-Jorge Linares fight for May 12. According to a Los Angeles Times report Tuesday, Arum's Top Rank Inc. (Lomachenko) and De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions (Linares) have come to an agreement for Lomachenko to challenge Linares for the Venezuelan's WBA lightweight title May 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York. They struck a deal, according to the Los Angeles Times, because ESPN agreed to air the telecast headlined by Lomachenko-Linares at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, so that it won't be broadcast at the same time as HBO's replay that night of the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin middleweight championship rematch.

Good fight. I'm looking forward to see with what new boxing tricks Loma will delight us and how he will deal with a fighter like Linares.

Waste of Loma's time, except for the money. Linares is (below) average at best.

Lol How is he average (below lol!) when he's 11-2 in title fights with belts in 3 weight classes with several solid wins?

Finally Lomachenko gets the opponens he wants. Hopefully Unification against Beltran in August and then a fight against Mikey Garcia in December for the Undisputed World Lightweight Championship.

This should be a tough test, despite what many are saying.

Good height, reach, and overall size advantage by Linares. Tougher fight than Russell Jr. was, that's for sure. Let's see how well Loma translates to another weight class.

Linares has the tools to beat Lomachenko this a competitive fight Lomachenko wins a close decision 7-5

I was at that fight. He was looking good and dominating and then his face exploded.

he took a ton of flush, hard shots and got destroyed by antonio freaking demarco. that fight wasn't just a product of cuts. it was a product of a polished guy getting outlasted until the polish wore off, and his vulnerabilites, his instincts when he's hurt and his chin, got exposed.

what's he going to do against the best boxer in the world if he's getting tagged in the late rounds by antonio demarco?
